I've found that Akonadi's first attempt at creating resources will appear to 
succeed, but the resources sometimes don't work. Open the Akonadi Console, 
delete the Mail Dispatcher Agent, then re-create it. I've had to do this to 
get outbound SMTP to work.

Not sure why your IMAP modification settings aren't working, though. That is 
weird.
